...I've uploaded a bunch of updated files thanks to your feedback. I haven't done that in the past, but considering the effort you went through to post such an awesome feedback document (and my internet connection is a whole lot faster these days than it was back in the glory days of The Realm...); I figured I owed it to you!

First, I don't know why you got the message about freeing the prisoners if you hadn't. That message is keyed to Quest 8, and Quest 8 is given when you free the prisoners. All I can imagine is that I loused it up (despite keeping a pretty detailed list) and used Quest 8 a second time without realizing it. I doubt I'll have time to go through in the kind of detail that I'd need to find that and correct it.

Actually, I was kind of glad that the game remembered what I had forgotten, so I don't think it's that much of a problem. I found the prisoners before defeating the dragon, so one could think it was implied that I would get back to them before leaving, without me actually having to do it (even though I missed a short text event that way).

You mention that you're not a native speaker, but your mastery of the language is far superior to many (if not most) native speakers I know.

To be fair to those, language - and particularly correcting language and giving feedback - is an essential part of my line of work. But I'm very flattered by the compliment, thanks!

I learned most of what I know by reading, watching movies and playing games in English, so in a way your designs contributed to educating me as well. (And AFAIK I have played all of them, so that's a lot of words!)

EDIT: And I never stop learning, apparantly. I've decided to take my Thunder Rift characters through Nol's Judge Guild conversion series, since I didn't get a chance to play it yet and the level range seems fitting, and while I prepared my party for the adventure (I had actually forgotten you can scribe spells, your mention of spell research reminded me!), I found out that you can join several scrolls to a bundle. Huh. Unless this is specific to The Realm, I played FRUA for 20 years and never knew about this before. Makes me wonder what else I don't know. Btw, what does an adder staff do?
